When scorching temps call for showing more skin, switching up your jewelry can give your look a quick, easy, and sweat-proof update. Less clothing may be best when it's hot out, but piling on baubles is still totally doable — and luckily, this season, more is more. Whether you prefer to throw on a statement or layer your favorite personal pieces, we've broken down 2017's MVP jewelry trends — and shopped them out at every price point.

With everything from hoop earrings to anklets on tap, get ready to refresh your vibe from head to toe.

01

Gold Hoops

Call it the comeback of the season: '90s-style hoop earrings (in a variety of sizes and textures) have experienced a major resurgence, adorning the ears of It girls everywhere.

Celebrities like Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Solange, and Alicia Keys are all fans of Jennifer Fisher's hoops. A classic pair like these Jennifer Fisher Kate Hoop Earrings ($365) will last you forever.

These Via Savienne Hoop Earrings ($175) offer a geometric take on the circle game — the perfect mashup.


02

Pendants

Delicate, layered pendants are the right-now version of the statement necklace. Start with one, then stack as many as you see fit.

Stylish and cerebral, every piece from Alighieri collection corresponds to one of the Dante’s 100 poems from "The Divine Comedy" — that includes this Alighieri Fortuna Necklace ($194).

Crescents and celestial motifs are totally having a moment, so with this Native Gem Eclipse Moon Necklace in Sterling Silver ($128) you'll hit two trends in one.

Layer this Lizzie Fortunato Jewels Mountain Valley Pendant ($350) with some of your favorite shorter-length styles or try it on its own with a deep v-neck.

03

Tassel Earrings

How trendy can you be if you don't own something with these festive, fringe-y embellishments? Tassels have been trending hard and show no signs of slowing down, specifically when it comes to swingy earrings.

04

Stacked Bracelets

This year's wrist candy is daintier and made for piling on. Try options in cord, chain, beads — or all of the above.

If curating the perfect stack gives you anxiety, try a set like this H&M 5-Pack Bracelets ($13) that does all the work for you.

Speaking of dainty, this delicate Jenny Sheriff 2-Tone Mini Crush Bracelet ($78) will look supersweet on its own or play well in an arm party.

05

Colored Stone Rings

Nail polish isn't the only way to color up your digits — this season, gemstone ring stacks are the freshest way to do finger adornments.

Get your stacking situation off to the right start with this Anthropologie Mix & Match Ring Set ($58).

Looking to treat yourself? This Wwake Four-Step Ring ($420) stunner is the perfect pick me up.

A substantial style like this Assya London Oriental Cross Ring ($240) will add some extra interest to your ring party or make a statement riding solo.

06

Delicate Chokers

Chokers are sticking around, and the most of-the-moment iteration is more minimal than its ultra-'90s predecessors. Go for thinner styles that can be layered a few at a time or with pendants.

07

Ball Drop Earrings

For those of us who appreciate a good statement piece, the drop sphere earring is the ideal evening style: playful, colorful, and party perfect.

An update to the O.G. style that launched the trend, these Rebecca de Ravenel Six Drop Ombre Earrings ($345) are fun and face framing.

08

Pearl Necklaces

Pearls have been making the rounds, having found a home on everything from jeans to shoes, bags, and more, but this year, we're officially seeing the return of Coco Chanel-esque, bauble-size strands. Pair them with edgy materials to keep the cool factor.

09

Anklets

The ankle bracelet is the newest installment of the '90s redux phenomenon. Street style queens have been sporting the trend with flats and heels, in every form from dainty chains to boho beads.

Outfits are just more fun with boho extras like this Shashi Disc Anklet ($40).

Equal parts playful and polished, this Zoe Chicco 14K Itty Bitty Stars Anklet ($350) is the stuff of jewelry dreams.
